What's Bolivia about?

Isolation for one. Without airtravel, it would be almost inaccessible. Not only is it landlocked, it's one of the most roadless countries in the Americas. The terrain ranges from the wall-like Andes to dense Amazonian rainforest.

Cultural distinction. Bolivia also has the highest indigenous population in the Americas, giving practically every aspect of its' culture a distinctly Indian flavor. Only 60 to 70% of its people speak Spanish, frequently only as a second language. In some regions, you'd be much better off speaking the indigenous Quechua or Aymara languages.
